Find & Remove Duplicate Photos

It is a good practice to regularly check your computer for duplicates to run it at optimum speed. Worry not, there is no need to individually open and compare each image. There are better ways to securely do this job for you. Here’s how:

Download PictureEcho from the official website of Sorcim Technologies.

After installing and running the program you will need to select the destination directories that you want to search for duplicates. You may use the Add path button to browse and select your preferred folders.

The next step is to select the similarity criteria.

There are two options:

Exact Match: This option performs a duplicate search and gathers results that are completely identical in nature. For example, you may likely have so many image files with no differences in terms of color, background, shapes, and so on.
Similar Match: This option brings out results that are partially the same. The files need not be hundred percentage to duplicates. There may be variations in background, color and tone.

There are several reasons why you should consider using similar match over exact match. The similar match will help free up as much as disc space as possible. Sometimes we make minor changes to images and forget to delete the file after use. This causes unnecessary duplication and such files need to be deleted on a regular basis.

With Picture Echo, it is easy and fun to bulk select files that you don’t need. The software shows a thumbnail of your images so that you can decide which files to delete and which ones to keep. With one single click, you can select the newest files in each duplicate group, oldest files in each duplicate group, modified files, least modified files, files by their location, larger-sized files, smaller sized files, high-resolution files, low-resolution files, and so on.

Once all files are selected, you can choose an action. You can either delete these files permanently to reclaim your lost storage space, or you can move these files to an entirely new folder of your choice.

You’d be surprised to find how much of your disk space is occupied by duplicate files. PictureEcho helps you remove useless clutter safely and securely.
